21stc supporting actress noms in at least 40% and less than 2% away from the lead's screentime (or sometimes even more than the lead's screentime):

Emma Stone, The Favorite

Rooney Mara, Carol

Julia Roberts, August Osage County

Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit

Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls

Emilia Perez would qualify for this category if they got nominated how they want to be. Disgusting fraud. Gascón is not getting nominated, regardless.

Hopefully A24 will hear you and remember the movie exists. If it gets nominated and actually pushed hard it can win.

 I think it's doa as a winner. besides the 2 Covid years, US box office:

rotk 381 

Oppenheimer 329

gladiator 187

Chicago 170

beautiful mind 170

Slumdog 141

speech 138 

Argo 136 

departed 132

million dollar 100

green book 85

EEAAO 77

no country 74 

shape of water 63

slave 56 

crash 55

parasite 53

spotlight 45

artist 44

birdman 42 

moonlight 27 

hurt locker 17 

 

 

sing sing has 2. and hurt locker had the irresistible narrative of David and goliath, with James cameron's billion dollar blockbuster against his ex wife's incredibly acclaimed war indie in a bid for the first female created winner. It would also be $24 mil adjusted for inflation,

I agree its too small. A24 shot themselves in the foot for no reason. :toofunny2:

A Rooney Mara-Cate Blanchett tea in Carol:

 

I still think Kieran Culkin's category fraud in A Real Pain is far more noticeable but of course the internet isn't focusing on that now...

emilia seems really underwatched so far. I mean, the kind of movie it is isn't for everyone, but I thought the star power would get more decent viewership...

Really? This screams boutique awards fare to me. I will watch it, don't get me wrong. But seeing how devisive it seems to be it's probably the best to not make too many middle of the road viewers watch it, no?

When emilia gets 1 oscar nom

Anora is well paced and fun but definitely is overhyped. The first half of the film is overlong and the whole film does not really paint Anora's headspace. I get why would Gerwig loves it though lol.

Quincy Jones was supposed to accept his Honorary Oscar :chick3:

I just watched Anora, it was just ok, i was like… that's the frontrunner to win best picture? yikes :biblio:


If the academy was cooler they would give it to Dune part 2, that was a FILM.

I thought it would do numbers on Netflix, too... I'm surprised it didn't even reach or barely hit the top 10 on their charts. However, the campaign behind it stands strong, and I think it's reaching voters, and they will be remembered when the nominations windows come.

Every liberal older Gen X / boomer I know seems to love the movie. Obviously that's anecdotal but it makes me think the Academy will like it more than the Letterboxd set.

And we know this demographic doesn't know and doesn't care about Letterbox and Twitter shenanigans.

Hoult and Colette might happen :jonny5:

Would love for this to happen, especially Hoult. So good, and this movie is great. Doubt they'd even make top ten though.

Honestly I would not be surprised to see some rallying-for-Clint for that movie from voters to oppose the way WB treated it. Director or BP nominations maybe? I do not see actors though.

 

Anora could win BP because of the ranking system which favors average pleasers.

Will the Academy go for an all white male Director lineup? It would be the first time this happened since 2011 :redface:

Nickel Boys has to pick up more steam or Coralie needs to get the flowers she deserves this awards season in nominations for The Substance to prevent that from happening. I'm not fully sure McQueen will happen for Blitz.

I'm here for Demi Moore.

Can't wait to see Anora and see what's all the hype.

Category fraud Ariana may have an easier time than Cynthia.

In the last 50 years, one Broadway musical got a lead actress nom, best picture winner Chicago following a sweep at the Tonys for top categories

Honestly Fargeat deserve more a nom for directing than writing. It's beautifully done and edited for such a low budget. But it is so genre... not sure it can make it.

Ready for ATRL to collapse if Yeoh got nominated instead of Grande at Oscar :suburban:

The writing in that movie is kind of a mess, I was shocked it won @ Cannes. Though it would be a more deserving nom than September 5... kind of a dire category this year nnn 

Director would be an interesting choice. But I hope Denis can still sneak in too

Yeah I was also kind of wtf with all the praise about the writing when it's the Directing which is perhaps a standout, writing is actually one of Substance's weakest parts :deadbanana4:
